Psoas Release Immersion I (A 5-Day Inner Exploration)
 

The psoas is a muscle situated deep within the abdomen that can be viewed as the core of the physical body. This muscle influences many aspects of both physical wellbeing as well as the fundamental sense of Being. It is crucially important in supporting balance and ‘centering’ (coming home in yourself), movement and coordination, and also for posture and joint rotation. It is the only muscle that connects the lumbar vertebra with the legs and the diaphragm.

 The psoas serves as a highly sensitive mirror and radar for the deepest feelings, reactions and emotions. When affected, the psoas tells the real story of what is happening, far from what eye sees. The natural function of the muscle makes you fight, flight, freeze or respond.

 

We will also focus on the broad energetic context of the hara- center. Together, the psoas and the hara- center constitute the key area of your life energy, as well as being the gravitational center of the body and the axis of movement, coordination and mobility.
 
Moreover, this section of the body is a treasure trove of hidden feelings and suppressed emotions. This is where a whole complex of unexpressed emotions gets stored: old childhood traumas, repressed feelings involving sexuality, anger, high sensitivity, daring to be yourself and express your own truth, the ability to enjoy… and on top of all this buried energy there’s a  layer of associated fear.

In this 5- day Immersion Retreat you will learn to work with a variety of innovative hands-on bodywork- techniques, such as dynamic and static deep (muscle) tissue work, stretches and rotations.

 

You will also learn: - respectful entrainment - space for feelings and emotions - the importance of breathing - deep listening with heart and soul - unconditional acceptance… all of which create the fundamental conditions for profound and vital presence and relaxation.

 

You will receive valuable insights into and experience directly the profound ways in which breathing influences, opens up and connects the four crucial areas of body, mind, feelings and, spirit.
